"So what brings you two here today?" the therapist Pema asks. I look over at Korra and she is just starring at the fish tank in the room. I'm not surprise she never takes anything seriously. Our marriage is falling apart and her main focus is on fishes.
Since Korra doesn't plan on answering Pema's question I decide to.
"Well you see we been married for 6 years"
"Really that long, I thought it was 4"? Korra says
I roll my eyes because she always says 4 years, this is one of the reasons we're here.
She never listens or care to
We are starring at each other with irritation until Pema clears her throat
"I can see that there is a lot of tension between you two, when was the last time you two been intimate with one another"
Korra straighten up in her chair "Are we supposed to rate it too"? Korra asks
I can't believe she just said that
"I mean sure, if you want from 1-10" Pema replies back I can't believe she is entertaining this nonsense
"Wait is 1 good or is 1 bad, I'm saying that is my answer I just want to know before I answer"? Korra asks
"Who cares, what does that have to do with us being here, I thought we were going talk about how much of a pain Korra been in our marriage"!?
"Oh so I'm the reason why we're here"?
"It always is" I say back
"No one is to blame here, I simply asked that question because, being close to your partner is very important and has everything to do with why you two are here, but we can go back to that question later on" Pema says
We both nod
"So Asami tell me, how did you two meet" I sigh and lean forward in my chair
"Well I was on a business trip, no I mean vacation, a vacation/slash business trip"
I think back to the first time I met Korra and describe the events leading up to that meeting
A course leaving out a few details
6 Years Ago
My coworker Mako and I both get off the airplane and it's hot. I put on my sunglasses while Mako carries our luggage
"How are you liking Ember Island"? Mako asks while our rental car pulls up
"It's cute but I don't see why the Avatar would be in a place like this?" I scan the surrounding and I do see a couple of shady people but I can totally take them if they try anything
"Well you can't underestimate people" I laugh while getting into the car
"A course, I'm a non-bender yet I can take down anyone, bending or no bending"
"Trust me I know, I have a scar to prove it" he says while shutting the door
We get to our destination which is a beach house and it looks like all the others on this island
Mako turns his hand into a fireball
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PUT THAT OUT"! I whisper making sure no one saw what he just did
"What, I want to make sure this isn't a setup" he says while putting it out
"Well if anyone sees you do that again they will think we're up to something, let me handle this" I shove my luggage into Mako's arm anf make sure my knife is close to me.
I knock on the door and I can hear people walking toward the door. The door swings open and I slowly slide my knife back into my purse
"Welcome, you two must be on a honey moon" one of the two elderly women says. They look like they could be twins
"Ohhhh no, we're actually on vacation" I reply back
Mako waves as the women look at each other confused
"That's perfectly fine too, My name is Lo and this is my sister Li" we both bow
"Come on in let me show you two where you all will be staying"
I check my computer to see if I have any new messages from my Father
I have all my weapons laid across my bed when I hear a knock on the door
I instantly fold my blanket up and sit on top of it.
"Come in"
The door opens and it's Mako I sigh in relief
"I thought you were the housekeepers" he laughs while walking in
"No but I can easily tell that you have your weapons right under you and you probably have your electricity glove in one of your nightstands and last but not least"
Mako then touches the ceiling fan and pulls out an AK47
"You know what, I hate people like you" I say while unfolding my blanket
"Did you hear anything from Future Industries"? Mako asks
"No, not yet my Father said he will contact me if he hears anything about the Avatar's where abouts"
"Great, let's go party, there is this bar near us that I want to check out"
I continue to put the rest of my clothes in my dresser
"No way, we're on a mission, we don't have time for your little hookups"
"Comeeeeee onnnnnn Asami, it will be fun, besides I saw a lot of hot babes for you, also when was the last time you got laid"? I roll my eyes
"Mako you're more than welcome to go, but I'm not going with you"
He starts walking toward the door "Fine it's alright, I will just go and tell your father about you almost getting us escorted off the plane"
"NO FAIR, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT WANTED ME TO PUT ON MY SEATBELT, HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO PROTECT MYSELF IF I'M TIED DOWN"?
Mako smiles "A good agent, can protect themselves regardless, tied down or not"
I'm sitting at the bar all by myself while Mako dances with some girl who looks totally out of his league
This is totally unprofessional, we should be working on our mission, yet here we're at this poor of an excuse bar that should had been closed or condemned years ago.
As I'm drinking my drink a man walks over and sits beside me.
"Hey sweetie, what's a hot mama like yourself doing here all alone" I size him up
Bald, large frame, has weird looking eyebrows. I set my drink down and he makes the cup float in the air
Another thing to add to the list, he's an air bender, rare but quite popular now a days
"What can you bend"? he asks trying to sound seductive
"I'm a non-bender" he then smiles
"Well you still fascinate me, how about I buy you a drink"?
"That is very kind of you, but I'm not that much of a drinker" I reply back looking at Mako hoping he can help me but he has some girl grinding on him
"My name is Zaheer" I shake his hand
"You have a strong grip, what's your name"? he asks
"Sami" he nods
"What's your last name"?
"I don't like giving my last name out"
"Why not"?
"I just don't, you can tell a lot from a person's last name" he then laughs but I don't find anything funny and to be honest I really want him to leave.
the bar door opens and two females and a male walk in
I look at them closely there is a girl with short hair and green eyes and a boy with green eyes and black hair with a fire ferret on his shoulder
Lastly a woman with blue eyes tan skin, great built and short hair, we make eye contact with each other and she gives me a smile.
They walk toward the dance floor something about the last girl fascinates me like she has some type of secret and I enjoy finding out secrets
A feel someone rubbing my hand "How about we get out of here"
I pull away
"No, I'm fine and I would appreciate you not touching me again" I say sternly he just laughs
"What are you going to do about it, you're just a non-bender"
I'm just about to chi block him when all the drinks on the bar counter top lifts up and falls on top of him in one swift motion.
Zaheer gets up instantly trying to get the alcohol out of his eyes and his chair slides backward hitting him in his knee.
Making him fall to the ground.
"The woman told you not to touch her" the same woman who just came in says
wait is it possible that this woman just air, earth, and waterbend this man?
Zaheer then gets up "You will pay for that" he yells while exiting the bar
I turn to the woman and she smiles
"I didn't need your help I had it under control" the woman looks at her friends while they laugh
"Are you sure, because you didn't look like it" the woman replies back
"You don't know me" I answer back the woman then fill in the space between us
"Well I can start to get to know you, my name is Korra" she extends her hand out and I look down at it.
I shake her hand and she smiles, she has an amazing smile.
" I thought I would have to bloodbend you to get you to shake my hand" she says while letting go of my hand
"Is that a threat"? I ask
She steps back and laughs "No, I was kidding, I hardly use blood bending, I prefer just to waterbend"
"You're just a waterbender I would had swear that I saw you earth, air, and waterbend" I ask looking at her up and down trying to read her
"No, I wish I could bend more than one element, my friends, Opal, and Bolin helped me out" her friends wave at me and I wave back
"What's your name" she asks me
"Sami" she then kisses my hand
"Beautiful name to match a beautiful woman, do you mind dancing with me, since I saved your life"?
"You didn't save my life, and…" I look into her eyes and find myself saying
"Sure I would love to dance"
What just happened?
I wake up hearing birds chirping and slowly open my eyes. I look around and this isnt my room I Instantly get up and try to reach for my gun but realize I didn't bring a gun and I don't have any clothes on.
Spirits how did I get here? I can't believe had sex with a complete stranger and put myself in danger like that?
I never felt vulnerable before, that was my job I was supposed to make others feel like that not the other way around.
As I'm picking up my clothes I see myself in the mirror and my hair is a mess, not counting the marks on my neck.
I hate myself right now, what a careless mistake on my part
After putting on my clothes I walk out of the bedroom and see her in the kitchen
"Good Morning I made breakfast" she says
"Thank you I appreciate it, but I need to leave" I head to the door but she runs to it
"Please don't go, I made breakfast just for you" I look into her blue eyes one of the reason why I got myself into this mess
"Do you always, make breakfast for your one night stands"? I ask
She then frowns "You see it as a one night stand, I was hoping we could see each other more"
I don't have time for a relationship or can even see myself in a relationship. My life is too hectic for any type of commitment.
My destiny is set and I can't have any distractions, no matter how sweet Korra is.
My commitment is to find the Avatar and kill it, and me being here is setting me 2 steps back, I bet my Father even called already
"Korra I appreciate the thought, and everything but I really need to go" she then gives me puppy dog eyes
Oh please I have killed people begging for their life, puppy dog eyes don't get to….
"I mean I can stay for a little breakfast" Not again why do I keep breaking?
"Yay"
Korra then gives me a kiss and I feel like I can't breathe
She pulls out my chair and sets pancakes onto my plate
"It's blueberry" she says excitedly I laugh something about her is different I never met a person like her before
She is like an adult child, caring and compassionate, from years of studying people that's what I'm getting from her
I check the food and lift it up with my fork to expect it
"Umm did you think I tried to poison you"? Korra ask
I blush
I just can't get away from my spy habits
"Ohhhh no I just, wanted to admire how great it looked"
Korra nods
I take a bite of the pancakes slowly and let out a small moan then cover my mouth blushing
"I'm sorry"
Korra smiles "It's fine, I know my pancakes are amazing" she then winks
"So how long, have you lived here"? I ask
"Not too long probably 1 month I like to travel, what about you what brings you here"?
"Vacation" she starts putting the pan in the sink
"Well good that means I can see you more"
"How do you know I want to see you more"? I ask
She then gets closer to me, and I instantly stop chewing my food
"Because I'm addicting, and people always search for someone like me" she then pours more syrup onto my pancakes
And I'm speechless
Present
"So we started going out more and Korra asks me to marry her and I said yes" I say crossing my arm not looking at her
Pema nods
"So you two meet in a bar"?
"Yes" we both say bitterly
Pema looks at the time "Well today's session is over" we both get up
"Korra and Asami next time I see you I want you two to each make a list of the things you love and hate about each other"
"That wont be hard" I say while exiting the door first
"YEAH NOT AS HARD AS ASAMI'S HARD BECAUSE SHE'S HARD HEADED" she screams out
I get to my car and Korra gets into hers
"See you at home Honey" Korra says sarcastically
"You too sweetie" she blows a kiss at me and I catch it and let it go in the air, she winks and speeds off out of the car garage
I get in to my car and my dashboard is instantly transformed into a computer
I call my Father and he instantly picks up
"Sami, we belive the Avatar is in Republic City" I put on my lipstick while my phone on speaker
"Father, the Avatar has been off the grid for years now, I don't even think he or she is still alive"
"Well you're going to have to find that out arent you, come in tomorrow so you can receive your new assignment or your old one" I smile
"Great, chasing after gangsters is getting old"
My Father laughs "I bet, how is my favorite daughter in law doing"?
"Great Father, Korra and I just got back from the movies earlier and I'm on my way to make her a special dinner"
"Awww you two are the best couple ever"
"Thanks Father"
I then hang up the call, and pull out of the parking garage. I think I need to take a stop at the shooting range so I can practice and buy some new toys before I head home
Hoped you liked the first chapter, this story will be a tad similar to the movie but not the same, because I want you all to be anxious about what will happen next.
